I don't care for Spumoni either.


Mm. Elegante's for a slice.
Trying to remember the other place I really liked but I haven't been there in awhile.

Rosa's in Ridgewood ( Fresh Pond Rd & Bleecker St ). Pretty much most of the pizzerias in Ridgewood & Glendale are very good, with Rosa's being my favorite.

I like New Park Pizza, also V.I Pizza on Bell Blvd in Bayside and Valentino's on Kissena
In the city, there's a place on third avenue by 36th I like Libretto's
In Brooklyn, I like Gino's by Barclays Center
Can't really speak for the Bronx or Staten Island

I made my own, several times all the way from flour and yeast and double rises.
Too much trouble though and I saved very little given the cost of generous cheese.


But it was always quite delicious.

My favorite is one with caramelized onions. I beg my girlfriend to cook them. Like begging for sex...

High five to you, nightcrawler!

I opened the thread to post Johnny's! I grew up eating Johnny's Pizza and was so happy to hear that it is still there. The hilarious thing is that there is a Papa John's right next door. I don't understand how those chains make money when there is real pizza to be had everywhere. The only chain pizza that I ever had and actually thought was not bad was someone at work bought a lunch special at Little Caesars, which is an insane bargain! Four squares and a 20 ounce soda for five bucks. The person offered me two of the squares but I was only able to eat one of them and it was actually not bad. I was surprised at my reaction. I'd never pass up real pizza for it but in a pinch that lunch special is cheap.

For those who mentioned it: What is a monster slice?

Also, how much is a plain slice by you? Around here is goes anywhere from $2.75 to $3.25.

Totonno's is my favorite of all time.

I like these also....

- L&B's square slices
- Barboncino Pizza, authentic Neapolitan pizza
- Difara's is good, just not worth the one hour wait or $5 a slice
- Don Anotonio, authentic Neapolitan pizza
- Grimaldi's is always a good stop when I'm hanging around the neighborhood

There's a pizza spot in Ceasars Bay shopping area in Brooklyn, exit 5 belt parkway, forgot the name, they have delicious Chicago style deep dish pizza.
